When Serena returned to the Jordans, she immediately went to the kitchen and prepared the rice soup.
She assumed that Cristian would have to eat something very light because of the wound.
She also thought that Cristian's wound was on his back, so how would he be able to sleep all night? He could not lie down because the wound would surely get worse if it was pressed.
Was she supposed to sleep on her stomach?
Serena was reminded of a very different scene, in which that tall figure was curled up on top of that crib, lying miserably, and then she could not hold back the urge to laugh. After laughing a few times, Serena felt that she was miserable at that moment. If he had not saved her from the sulfuric acid, her back would not have been injured so badly and the person lying there would probably have been her instead of him.
Moreover, if he had not done so, both his face and body would have been ....
What a terrible thing! Serena did not dare to think about it anymore, but went to quickly boil the rice soup, then got a thermos to put it in. After thinking about it, she cooked some light dishes of her own invention.
She cooked well, but less often over the years, because Anna was a much better cook than she was, and Manuel also liked her dishes, so since they lived together, it was Anna who cooked.
Although the skill was rusty, she had not yet abandoned it.
Serena hurried to prepare the dishes, then loaded the bucket from the thermos and left.
Just as she was leaving the kitchen, she ran into Matteo, whose face was indifferent and silent.
At Matteo's stern look, Serena timidly moved the thermos she was holding to the other side, trying to avoid him, but to no avail.
In fact it was useless, how could Matteo not know what she wanted to do?
Thinking about this, Serena stopped and looked at Matteo.
-Brother.
Anyway, a greeting was in order.
Matteo half-closed his thin lips and his eyes were a little cold: -Can you still call me brother?
Serena replied, -Why can't I call you that?
-Have you forgotten who hurt you like that five years ago,‖ Matteo stared at her, without looking away, -It's been five years, you've forgotten all that, and now you still want to meet him? Serena, where is your self-esteem?
-So what do you think I should do? That man put up with everything for me, and now he lies in the hospital covered with wounds. If it weren't for him, I would be the one lying there right now, and you would probably be the one bringing me food. So are you still going to stop me? Matthew said, "If it weren't for him, you wouldn't be in trouble. If you approach him again, you will still be in trouble in the future. Can he endure for you once, can he endure for two or three times, or even for a lifetime?
When she heard the description of a lifetime, Serena's face changed slightly.
-I don't want to think about it now and have no other feelings for him. Even if it was not him who saved me, but a stranger, I would still go to the hospital to take care of him out of benevolence, without personal feelings.
Matthew stared at her, "Are you sure you have no personal feelings? Then can you promise me that you won't fall in love with him again?"
-Yes, I promise," Serena nodded, "I never wanted to fall in love with him again, so don't worry about that. Besides, what I want to tell you is that even if I wanted to fall in love with him, that would be my own business that I could handle on my own.
Matthew reached out and grabbed her shoulder.
-I don't want to control you on purpose. You are now the noble daughter of the Giordano family and I don't want you to repeat the same mistakes you made before, do you understand?
